After I reduced the amount of hp Kangaxx to a minimum, he fights on and cannot be killed. What to do?

Reload. I'm aware is a known bug, it happened to me as well. I just reloaded and the battle worked just fine.
Does not help. I slept, came back, repeatedly lowered hp to a minimum; the result is the same. Saving before the battle, I unfortunately do not have
I've read that trying to attack him with only one character helps to avoid this bug; apparently it occurs when he receive damage during his transiction to demilich. Even not pausing during the fight seems to help.
didn't help, maybe there is some other way? command in console to kill him? because of him I can’t play further, I like to complete all quests and I don’t want to miss this quest
he continues to fight, during the battle departed from him but nothing has changed
You can use consolle, sure, but i'm not 100% sure that killing the lich form will drop the same things of the demilich form. Anyway, for console (instruction from Baldur Wiki):
Enable
Open the Baldur.ini file (located in the BG installaion directory).
Find the line [Game Options] and add the text Cheats=1 underneath.
Access
Load your game
Press ctrl and tab together.
CLUA commands can be entered in the editing area that appears at the bottom of the screen.
Type: CLUAConsole:EnableCheatKeys()
After that you can kill a creature under cursor with CTRL+Y
he still does not die) there seems to be no solution
first you could type in this cheat command;
C:SetGlobal("KangaxxHurt","LOCALS",0)
and then bring him down to 1 HP, and see if it continues, if not, then you can try this one;
C:SetGlobal("KangaxxHurt","LOCALS",1)
and hopefully that will start up his dialogue, if not, kangaxx is unkillable, he is wearing an item that will make it so he can never be destroyed ( although perhaps you might be able to INT drain him with the mind flayer transformation of shapechange )
an alternate method is to use a thief (recruit jan and buff him stacking thieving potions) to steal the ring from his lich form, the split second before he turns hostile, and just run away. if it is still possible in EE, in the original it was the way to get 2 rings, one from each form, but the trick is now nerfed, still i am quit convinced that it is still possible to steal from the lich, and then the EE demilich will not have a second ring.
no console needed and to loose some xp and minor loot is not a problem, the ring is what matters.
unless you are going for achievements...
in this case you can continue anyway, but when the bug is in the main plot and you can not fix it, without a save it is game over.
I've read that the exploit to get a second ring was fixed, and i think it's better... that ring is so powerful
by the way the ring is powerful, but i personally don't like that way of fixing exploits that don't need to be fixed imho.
most of the players don't pickpocket him, the few that do it can do it for a second ring, and if they have fun why not, or to have the battle with the demilich a little more easy, as you and not him are in possession of the ring.
it is not something a normal not spoiled player would do by chance, so is not a trick that can be performed not willing to do it, affecting who don't like to have 2 rings.
even if the politics of beamdog should be to nerf only that kind of tricks that cause problems to the unwilling to do them players, as the developers stated in the forums.
I agree that not every exploit should be fixed, but i consider this situation as a bug: if i already steal the ring i shouldn't get another after the fight.
well you can just console in another ring if you want one everytime you fight him;
C:CreateItem("ring39")
plus you can't pick pocket it from him, even if you had 10 000 000 in pick pocket, in his lich form, its in his armor slot, which cannot be pick pocketed
and the reason why there are 2 rings is because kangaxx the lich and kangaxx the demilich are actually 2 different creatures, each possessing the ring
at least for me.
the point is to exploit the game, just for the fun to do it, not to have one more powerful item, if i would need more power to beat the game i would instead prefer to slide down the difficulty control. thing that i never do in the game, not even when my toons level up.
i actually mod my game to be more difficult and chose on purpose to have very average stats charnames because i like the challenge, and my preferred mod component is tactics mod irenicus dungeon because there you can have only very basic items, few ammo so no kiting tactics possible, and very overleveled enemies.
but back to the topic if in EE is not possible to pick pocket the ring then the console is the only hope the OP has.
